A NEW COPYRIGHT BILL
Introduced in the House by Repre
sentative Barchfeld.
Representative Andrew J. Barchfeld "of
Pennsylvania has introduced in the House
a copyright bill which is identical in
every way with the Senator Kittredge
bill, including the now famous para
graph "E," which seeks to protect the
author and composer against the unau
thorized reproduction of their composi
tions on phonographic records, gramo
phone discs and perforated music rolls
without remuneration.
The introduction of this bill is what
the Authors and composers all over the
United States have been striving for. and
to this end they have formed a great or
ganization numbering over Ave thousand
members and reaching from one end of
the country to the other. It is known
as "The Authors' and Composers' Copy
right league of America, ' and its officers
are Victor Herbert, president; John Philip
Sousa. treasurer, and Reginald DeKoven,
secretary. It is affiliated with all the
well-known theatrical clubs of America,
among them being the \?ords and Music
Club, the Greenroom Club, the Treasurers'
Club of America1, the Actors' Society, the
White Rats, tire Lambs, the American
Dramatists' Clut), the Playwrights' League
and last, but not least, that great body of
theatrical press agentrf a^u newspaper
men, the Friars.
Never has an issue in the two houses
Interested the brain workers of this coun
try as much as the copyright bill. Spe
cial delegations have been appointed from
all over the country to visit the Capitol
in Its behalf. The one at present is com
posed of Victor Herbert, Isidore Wltmark,
Nathan Burkan and Campbell B. Casad.
In the course of a few days they will be
joined by John Philip Sousa, Reginald
DeKoven, A. Baldwin Sloane. George
Spink, Charles K. Harris and others.

New Minister From Norway One of
Its Most Prominent Men.
Mr. N. Gud&. who is to succeed Mr.
Hauge as the Norweglag minister to the
United States, is one of the most promi
nent men in the new Scandinavian king
dom and will prove a decided acquisition
to the diplomatic colony at Washington.
He represented the dual kingdom of Swe
den and Norway as minister to Spain and
afterward represented his country at Co
penhagen as minister plenipotentiary to
Denmark. Owing to impaired health he
has been out of the government service
for several months past. His selection as
minister to the United States has not
been officially announced to the State
Department, but it is accepted as an as
sured fact. The new minister is not ex
pected to arrive in Washington, however,
before the first of April.

Ban Placed on Staff Officers
of the Navy.
MR. HALE'S GENERAL BILL
Would Immediately Settle the
Brownson-Rixey Dispute.
I
STOKES WOULD GIVE UP SHIP
Pay of Officers Increased by Twenty
Per Cent and That of Enlisted
Ken Twice as Much.
The Brownson-Rixey bureau quarrel
will be settled summarily if a general bill
affecting the navy, introduced today by
Senator Hale, becomes a law. It would
forbid staff officers from exercising com
mand of any vessel in the navy, and Sur
j geon Stokes would have to relinquish
command of the hospital ship Relief.
The bill would prevent a prospective
hump of tremendous proportions in the
>navy by limiting to seventy-five the num
ber of Annapolis graduates to be commis
sioned annually, but it increases the pay |
of officers by 20 per cent and the pay ot
.non-commissioned officers and enlisted
men by twice as much.
By its terms staff officers of the navy
are allowed to wear their titles as proudly
as officers of the line. Commissions would
be issued to them by the President in the
same specific terms. There are also pro
visions for the retirement of officers, prac
tically in accord with provisions now ap
plicable to the army. The bill thus covers
the ground of the Dick-Capron pay bill,
and further includes Important modifica
tions of existing law about the personnel
of the navy and the administration of the
department. The bill is as follows:
No More Permanent Boards.
"That the entire business of the Navy
Department under the Secretary of the
Navy shall be transacted by the bu
reaus and offices of the department as
now existing, and all reports and recom
mendations of such bureaus and offices
shall be made direct to the Secretary of
the Navy. No permanent board of any
kind shall bo hereafter appointed by the
Navy Department or continued In opera
tion unless expressly provided for by
law. after the passage of this act; but.
from time to time, the Secretary of the
Na\y may ronvpne boards for temporary
service cpnnected with the pending busi
ness of the department.
"That officers In the various staff corps
of the navy shall hereafter have aetual
rank and title as now established for
the staff corps of the army. Such offi
cers of the staff corps of the navy shall
at all times have the title and designa
tion of their rank, and new commissions
in accordance therewith shall be forth
with issued to them. Provided, that this
provision shy 11 in no case carry with it
command over any vessel of the Navy
Department; but such command shall be
exercised only by line officers.
Commissions for Midshipmen.
"That hereafter from the midshipmen
who successfully complete the six years'
course at the Naval Academy appoint
ments shall be made as may be neces
sary, and In the order of merit at gradua
tion, to fill vacancies in the lowest
commissioned grade* of the line and
other corps of the navy to which such
graduates are eligible for appointment
under existing law. and tliat the num
ber of said appointments which shall
be made tp the various corps of the naval
?service in any one year shall not exceed
seventy-five. Provided, that the forego
ing provision limiting the increase in any
fiscal year shall not apply to midship
men who may have entered the Naval
Academy prior to January 1. 1904, and
have completed their four years' course
at the academy.
"That the order of merit of graduates
of the Naval Academy upon final gradua
tion. and the eligibility to appointment in
the navy, shall be determined as now
provided by existing law and regulation,
and the assignment of graduates to the
various corps shall be made by the Secre
tary of the Navy.
"Provided, further, that if there be a
surplus of graduates above that necessary
to fill the vacancies in the manner and to
the extent hereinbefore authorized, those
who do not receive such appointment
shall be given a certificate of graduation,
an honorable discharge and one year's
sea pay: and hereafter any midshipman
whose position in his class entitles him
to be retained in the service may. upon
his own application, be honorably dis
charged at the end of the four years'
course at the Naval Academy, with a
proper certificate of graduation. The
appointments herein authorized shall be
made upon July 1 of each year, which
shall be regarded as the beginning of the
year for reckoning vacancies for the pur
poses of this act.
Retirement of Officers.
"That when an officer has been thirty
years in the service he may. upon Ills
own application, in the discretion of the
President, be retired from active service
and placed upon the retired list. When
an officer has served forty consecutive
years as a commissioned officer, he shall,
if he makes application therefor to the
? President, be retired from active service
and placed upon the retired list. And any
officer of the navy who is now serving
or who shall hereafter serve as chief of a
bureau of the Navy Department, and
slinll subsequently be retired, shall be re
| tired with the rank, pay and allowances
authorized by law for the retirement of
such bureau chief.
Increase of Pay.
"That the pay of all commissioned of
ficers, warrant officers, midshipmen and
pay clerks in the navy and marine corps
Is hereby Increased 20 per centum. And
the pay of all non-commissioned officers,
mates and other petty officers, musicians
and other enlisted persons in the navy
and marine corps Is hereby increased 40
per centum. Provided, that the word
"pay" as used in this section shall be
exclusive of all additions in the form of
allowances and commutations.
"That all acts and parts of acts, so far
as they conflict with the provisions of this
act, are hereby repealed."
JOINT MILITARY MANEUVERS.
Participation of Militia and Reg
ulars Desired.
Assistant Secretary Oliver has addressed
a circular letter to the governors of
states and territories, with a few ex
ceptions. relative to the participation by
the militia In joint drills and maneuvers
with the troops of the regular army next
summer. An estimate has been submitted
to Congress to defray the cost to the
states ol this participation, at least to the
extent of providing for the payment of
the militia while engaged In these joint
maneuvers; their subsistence and trans
portation to and from the camps and
drill fields. Now Gen. Oliver has. In
anticipation of the passage of the legis
lation desired, requested the governore
separately to state whether it would be
practicable for their states to send any
part of the organized mUltla to partici
pate. A blank form is inclosed, which
each governor .is requested to fill In with
statements of the cost of the subsistence,
pay and transportation of the militia
(ien. Oliver says: "It is not the Intention
to confine you strictly to the number In
dicated. nor to any particular troops, but
owing to the limited appropriation any
participation beyond that herein invited
will probably be at the expense of the
state's allotment of the appropriations
for the maintenance of the National
Guard."
The department's invitation in eacl>
case specifies the approximate quota of
militiamen called for In case of each

CHANCE FOR GUARDSMEN.
Examination' to Be Held for Regular
Army Commissions.
At the instance of the President, As
sistant Secretary Oliver of the War De
partment has notified the governors of
the various states and territories and the
Commissioners of the District of Colum
bia of his desire that they designate a
single representative from the National
Guard of each state and territory and
the District to take the competitive ex
amination for appointment as second lieu
tenant In the regular army under the con
ditions and limitations prescribed In the
case of all civilian appointees in the army.
These National Guard candidates will be
appointed according to their standing in
the examination, and to the extent that
vacancies may exist in the army. This
action is taken with the view both of en
couraging members of the militia and of
securing good material for the regular
service. The only conditions imposed on
the governors are that the militiamen
nominated by them shall have had at least
twii years' service in the national guard
and have been recommended by their im
mediate commanding officer.
FOR THE SUPREME COURT.
Mr. Littlefleld Proposes an $8,000,
000 Building Near the Capitol.
An SN,000,(XX> home for the United States
Supreme Court is provided for in a bill in- j
troduced in the House by Representative
Littlefleld of Maine. The plot of ground
named in the bill is northeast af the Cap
itol. and is bounded on the north by B
street north, on the east by 2d street
east and on the west by 1st street east.
It contains aibout 157 square feet.
The Supreme Court building, if erected
on the site proposed by Mr. Littlefield's
bill, would occupy the same position rela
tive to the northeast corner of the <"apitol
as does the LJbrary.of Congress with ref
erence to the southeast corner of the Cap
itol building. It would entail the closing
of a portion of Maryland avenue north- 1
east, which cuts through a corner of the !
proposed site.
In a plat accompanying the bill the out- ;
line of the building to be erected on the
site is made to conform to the Library of
Congress in the outline of its ground plan,
so that the two buildings would be in a
measure complementary, and make more
regular the appearance V>f the Capitol
plaza.
The ground required to carry out the
